A manifestation of the extreme perception that emerged amid uncertainty and the challenge to seeing brought on by urban warfare, the street paintings erected by Protestant motorbike-taxi drivers signaled a radical departure from the aniconic tradition of the old colonial church, a desire to be seen and recognized by political authorities from Jakarta to the UN and European Union, an aim to reinstate the Christian look of a city in the face of the country's widespread islamicization, and an opening to a more intimate relationship to the divine through the bringing-into-vision of the Christian god. Stridently assertive, these affectively charged mediations of religion, masculinity, Christian privilege and subjectivity are among the myriad ephemera of war, from rumors, graffiti, incendiary pamphlets, and Video CDs, to Peace Provocateur text-messages and children's reconciliation drawings. Orphaned Landscapes theorizes the production of monumental street art and other visual media as part of a wider work on appearance in which ordinary people, wittingly or unwittingly, refigure the aesthetic forms and sensory environment of their urban surroundings. The book offers a rich, nuanced account of a place in crisis, while also showing how the work on appearance, far from epiphenomenal, is inherent to sociopolitical change. Whether considering the emergence and disappearance of street art or the atmospherics and fog of war, Spyer demonstrates the importance of an attunement to elusive, ephemeral phenomena for their palpable and varying effects in the world"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aChristian art and symbolism$zIndonesia$zAmbon 606 $aChristianity and art$zIndonesia$zAmbon 606 $aChristianity$zIndonesia$zAmbon 606 $aSocial conflict$zIndonesia$zAmbon 606 $aStreet art$xPolitical aspects$zIndonesia$zAmbon 606 $aStreet art$xSocial aspects$zIndonesia$zAmbon 606 $aViolence$zIndonesia$zAmbon 606 $aVisual communication$xPolitical aspects$zIndonesia$zAmbon 606 $aVisual communication$xSocial aspects$zIndonesia$zAmbon 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & Social$2bisacsh 607 $aIndonesia$xPolitics and government$y1998- 607 $aAmbon (Indonesia)$xSocial conditions 607 $aAmbon (Indonesia)$xReligion 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aIndonesia. 610 $aappearance. 610 $aephemera. 610 $aimages. 610 $amateriality. 610 $amediation. 610 $areligion. 610 $astreet art. 610 $aviolence. 610 $avisuality. 615 0$aChristian art and symbolism 615 0$aChristianity and art 615 0$aChristianity 615 0$aSocial conflict 615 0$aStreet art$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aStreet art$xSocial aspects 615 0$aViolence 615 0$aVisual communication$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aVisual communication$xSocial aspects 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & Social. 676 $a704.9/482 700 $aSpyer$b Patricia, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01074822 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996456645303316 996 $aOrphaned Landscapes$92582315 997 $aUNISA
